2907 Madison Pl. BUSINESS: 
 
There are certain items of business that MUST be handled for this A.N.N.  system to work. 
 
l. EVERYONE MUST AGREE TO COPY & REMAIL TO BETWEEN l-3 PEOPLE.  I will assign people, but we are approaching the end of my list of those I want to reach and then you are free to suggest others.  Look at distribution file to see who is missing that you think should be there. 
 
2. EVERYONE MUST indicate what size drives they have so we can consider sending some on 320K, 720k,etc. for efficency sake. 
 
3. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO RECEIVE THESE , LET ME KNOW, we can replace you with someone else that does want these. 
 
4. SOME METHOD OF REPAY FOR THE DISKS USED IS NEEDED.
     I have received the two following suggestions:
          l. Each person periodically mail blank disks equal in number to those he received to the person doing the actual mailing to him.  (At least every 3 months if not more often).
          2. A fee be charged which would be equivalent to the costs of l years worth of disks, mailers, postage, etc.  Estimated to be $48.00 at this time 
This is NOT meant to be a profit making venture but I have expenses as well as those who have been kind enough to recopy and remail.  We need to work out some method of keeping this working without undue burden on any one. 
 
5. WHILE MANY GROUPS HAVE BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO CONTRIBUTE ITEMS, OTHERS HAVE NOT.
     Suggests have been received that ALL groups be required to contribute and IF a newsletter, their ENTIRE newsletter on disk be required. 

I would rather not go that far as of yet.  First, I do not think I could handle everyone's complete newsletter.  Second it would make the amount of disks being sent monthly for A.N.N. to go from l-3 to probably 4-8. 

I WOULD LIKE AS MANY GROUPS AS POSSIBLE TO SEND SOME CONTRIBUTION ON DISK PERIODCIALLY.  If this does not work we may have to make some changes. 
 
6. I WOULD LIKE YOU ALL TO SOLICATE THE VARIOUS SUPPLIERS, DEALERS, DEVELOPERS, ETC. to send news items about their activities, new products, etc. 
 
7. SOME CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO MAKING PAID ADVERTISING AVAILABLE ON THESE DISKS.  THE dealers, producers, etc. would pay $X.XX for YY K of space on an A.N.N.  

     Again this is NOT for profit but maybe as an alternative to requiring receipents to pay or people to send blank discs back, etc. 
 
8. YOU NEED TO SHARE THE INFORMATION ON A.N.N. WITH AS MANY AS YOU CAN.  
       
Certainly this should be done with newsletter editors, BBS sysops, AUG officers, and other people with big mouths.  (Just kidding). 
 
9.  FEEDBACK.  We (I) need feedback.  Let us know if you have suggestions, comments, etc.  What you like, do not like about it.  (No criticism of Barry Patch or my other articles allowed.  Again, kinda kidding). 
 
l0. PIRACY.  I am working on a system where ordinary Adam owners from various parts of the country contact suspected pirates and try to order from them.  Once we have proof that piracy is going on, I will send an attorney demand letter demanding an accounting, royalty payment and cease activities.  If this does not work, we should strongly consider turning the matter over to postal authorities and local prosecuting attorneys. 

I ask that you let me know if your GROUP will cooperate in this venture.  Basically this means an ordinary Adam owner NOT WELL KNOWN would write (at my direction) to the suspected pirates, etc. 
 
You should report suspected pirates to me with as much detail as possible on their activities.  THIS CAN ALSO INCLUDE DEALERS who may be suspected of piracy.  While most dealers are activily working for the good of Adam, rumors of a few who buy one copy from the producer and that make many copies to sell keep appearing.  If true this needs to be stopped, if not true we need to stop the rumors. 
DISKS TO KEEP INFORMED. 
 
Thank you for your continued cooperation. 
 
Best regards,
